We got a taxi to the city centre mall, then walked the corniche round to the souq. It's a glorious walk passing some lovely buildings, away from the fantastic city skyline. Another must do. More

It can be a pleasant walk (or maybe a jog if you can handle the heat) along the water's edge. The road nearby is a problem though, especially if you want to stroll through the nearby park - pedestrian crossings are not adhered to (pedestrian traffic in general is a sore point in Qatar). More

The corniche can suit anyone, whether for jogging or just driving the car around the cornich, photographers can get beautiful captures for old boats and the towers. The corniche has a free wi-fi, which is awesome if you want to complete your work by internet there. The only matter is DO NOT go there during afternoons in the summer. In... More

The Corniche is a fun place to walk but NOT during the summer hot days unless you are prepared to get sunburned. It is wonderful place to walk, but with the heavy traffic of the main highway with noise and air pollution, I think it is better to avoid walking the whole length. The sea looks inviting during the hot... More

Great vistas but spoilt by lack of shade or places to get a tea or coffee or water or anything. Access limited for pedestrians since it suicidal to try and cross the highway. Doha needs to get it's act together to make the city more people friendly. At the moment it is only liveable if you drive a big stupid... More

After the 30minute trip with the old wooden pearl fisher boat (qar50), I walked all the way back to the W Hotel. Men and women would pass by jogging or just walking. I felt safe and it was nice to walk near the sea rather than taking a taxi. Still hot at 8pm, but so much better than during the... More

Work is on progress. The Corniche is or will be the place to be. The buildings are beautiful and at night it is really gorgeous. More
